The photographic record of an African expedition led by producer-explorer Armand Denis and his (very) photogenic and camera-toting wife Michaela, who goes bird-riding at an ostrich farm. The expedition ranges from the central interior jungles and mountains to both coasts and as far south as Capetown, and ends with a gorilla hunt led by natives using 100-year-old muskets.
No white man has ever set foot beyond the coastal regions of New Guinea and so Armand and Michaela Denis determined to explore this virtually unknown territory. The film is the story of their adventures among natives whose colorful lives are based on brutal principles which have been unchanged for thousands of years and also of their expedition to the distant Waghi Valley where they found and photographed the rare and exotic bird of paradise.
Armand and Michaela Denis visit the Barrier Reef and explore the mysteries of life there - animals, birds, fish and plants, the underwater life. Climax shows seabirds invading young turtles as they struggle to reach the sea.
